Preview of Third ODI match – England Vs Ireland
This is the third match in a row to be played at Southampton in this tournament. We have seen an incredible series so far in which Moeen Ali is still wicketless, Jason Roy is yet to fire and Chris Campher yet to fail.
Team Preview
England:
Liam Livingstone’s debut appears to be on the cards. We are hoping that either of Banton or Vince will be playing. As England is keen to promote young talent, Banton has high chances to bat at Number three position. David Willey might be rested and replaced with Tom Curran.
Expected XI
1) Jason Roy
2) Jonny Bairstow (WK)
3) Tom Banton / James Vince
4) Liam Livingstone ( Bat + Off Spin)
5) Sam Billings
6) Eoin Morgan
7) Moeen Ali (Bat + Off Spin)
8) Adil Rashid (Leg Spin)
9) Tom Curran (Medium Pace)
10) Saqib Mahmood (Medium Pace)
11) Reece Topley (Medium Pace)
Ireland:
With experienced players in their squad, Ireland has their greatest chance to upset England by a win. Ireland might play an extra batsman as their two All-rounders, Delany and Kevin bats up the order. Ireland might or might not go with Potterfield. They are surely looking ahead of Potterfield who had not paid off. They would love to bring back Potterfield and Gary Wilson to increase their batting depth. Craig Young is expected to be replaced by Mark Adair (if fit) or Tyrone Kane.
Expected 11
1) Paul Stirling
2) Gareth Delany
3) Andrew Balbirnie (C)
4) William Potterfield / Harry Tector
5) Kevin O Brien
6) Lorcan Tucker / Gary Wilson
7) Chris Campher
8) Mark Adair /Tyrone Kane
9) Simi Singh / George Dockrell
10) Andy Mcbrine / George Dockrell
11) Joshua Little
Our Fantasy Cricket Team choice:
Batsmen
1) Jason Roy
2) Eoin Morgan
3) Andrew Balbrinie
4) Paul Stirling
All Rounder
1) Moeen Ali
2) Tom Curran
3) Curtis Campher
Bowlers
1) Reece Topley
2) Saqib Mahmood
3) Andy McBrine / George Dockrell
WK
1) Jonny Bairstow
For Dream 11, you can make a couple of changes. Replace Eoin Morgan with Delany and Saqib Mahmood with Joshua Little.
